Fibonacci Lower Extremity Plating System

Leonard of Pisa, better known as Fibonacci, made revolutionary contributions to the mathematical world in the 13th century. The patterns that emerge from Fibonacci’s sequence also impact all of nature and the biophysical world, especially the orthopedic trauma industry.

The Fibonacci Sequence also known as the Golden Ratio or natural equation was discovered by Fibonacci to explain curvatures and patterns occurring in nature. These same Golden Ratio is present in the bony anatomy of the human body and is always the same. AOS applied Fibonacci’s equation in the design of the pre-contoured plates of the Fibonacci Ankle Plating System resulting in greater anatomical accuracy and superior fit.

The AOS Fibonacci Lower Extremity System is a small fragment plating system intended to be used for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, fibula, including osteopenic bone insertion easier.
